Horizon view
Horizon from Messala A
36.5662° N, 53.8218° E · cell 30SCQ
- Highest horizon point
- Messala A: 11.8° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 164°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 74°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,050 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.2° high at azimuth 205°, 38.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:55 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
